The driving force behind the CSU DI is looking to the future and deciding what skills and knowledge we want our graduates to be equipped with. What skills will they require to meet the needs of their ever changing industry? How will we provide them with the opportunity to develop their abilities to negotiate an ever changing industry?
These are all important questions, with no easy answers. However, the CSU DI have come up with some generic graduate attributes that are important for all students to develop and achieve.
CSU Graduate Attributes CSU Graduate Attributes build students’ capacity to contribute to their community and to the wider society. By the conclusion of their studies, students are able to:
demonstrate a broad overview of their field of knowledge;
What do our graduates really need to know?
communicate effectively in a manner relevant to their discipline;
demonstrate analytical skills, including the exercise of critical and reflective judgement;
address unfamiliar problems;
plan their own work;
work as a team member;
demonstrate a national and international perspective; and
demonstrate an understanding of, and commitment to, values-driven practice in their field of study that takes account of open enquiry, ethical practice, social justice, cultural diversity, reconciliation and environmental sustainability.
Charles Sturt University has developed the following eight-point graduate statement as the outcomes we seek from our graduates. Charles Sturt University aims to produce graduates who are:
Well-educated in the knowledge and skills of their discipline or profession
Effective communicators who have problem-solving, analytical and critical thinking skills and can work both independently and in teams
Work-ready and able to apply discipline expertise in professional practice

Able to engage meaningfully with the culture, experiences, histories and contemporary issues of Indigenous communities
Understanding of the responsibilities of global citizenship, value diversity and ethical practice
Understanding of financial, social and environmental sustainability
Able to learn effectively in a range of environments including online
Opportunities to develop these outcomes will be provided throughout your studies at CSU in line with our commitment to undergraduates.
